The Guess Who - A Vastly Underated Band.......2007-04-29

I am going to go out on a limb here and propose that Burton Cummings may have been one of the best vocalists in rock n roll history, and probably one of the most overlooked. In all honestly The Guess Who were a bit before my time. By the time I was discovering music as a teenager the Guess Who's glory years were far behind them. By the time the band called it a day in 1975 Randy Bachman was long gone, and although they could still get the occasional single to break the top 40, they were burned out and burned up. As a kid I had, of course, heard various Guess Who songs on the radio, but never really gave them a lot of thought. All that changed in the late-80s when I happened to catch a Burton Cummings solo performance on Public Television's "Soundstage" program. I sat there mesmerized through the whole thing. Cummings was nothing short of incredible. His vocals and stage presence were riveting and much of the material he was performing was from his days in The Guess Who. This was really great stuff and I set out to find some Guess Who on CD. I decided on this 2 CD set that looked like it covered the most ground of the band's many compilations. Although I had never been into them before, I found that I knew about 70% of the songs on the two disc set already. Some had been huge hits, and some much lesser ones, but I had pretty much remembered them all if I had heard them even once. The Guess Who have a number of compilation albums out, and this one falls somewhere between the single disc ones and the 4 disc box set "Ultimate Collection". "Track Record" contains 31 cuts, including all of the bands big and lesser known hits, albums cuts, and a few live cuts. After Randy Bachman left in 1970 the band featured a revolving cast of guitarists. The change in sound can be heard here on the latter day material became a bit heavier and somewhat more varied. There is really not a bad song on the collection. I always liked the way that some of the band's singles were a bit on the different side. "Albert Flasher", "Rain Dance", "Glamour Boy" were all hits, but were not your typical top 40 radio fodder. Every time I pull this compilation out I think that I need to delve deeper into The Guess Who's proper albums. Hopefully I will do this one of these days, but for now this compilation remains a very nice addition to my collection.

excellent compilation.......2007-02-03

If you remember these guys from their heyday...and also remember the GREATEST HITS VOLUME 1 and 2....then you will really appreciate this 2 CD set...it has everything contained on those 2 discs and much more...and it is remastered...The sound quality is pure and clean...not over compressed..like so many "remaster" jobs are.

I am shocked to see this going for as little as $4.99..I went and bought the complete catalogue of their material from the epic period of 1968-75..but this set is all the best material....I would also suggest grabbing the LIVE AT THE PARAMOUNT....there is a 3cd set out there...and it has everything here...plus a few other rare treats....Unless you are a completist...there's no reason to go beyond this cd and maybe the Paramount cd..

The essential Guess Who collection!!! 31 great trax!!!.......2003-12-30

This the ultimate Guess Who collection on 2 CD's!!! From These Eyes to Power In The Music and everything else in between!!! All The hits are here!!! You'll be Laughing in No Time, even if you have No Sugar Tonight when you listen to these classics!!! A truly great package with great remastered sound,this set delivers!!!

Give Us More.......2001-09-26

This is a fine collection. Superior to the earlier Best of the Guess Who and Greatest of the Guess Who. If you want to go back to vinyl, this collection goes somewhat beyond what you would have if you combined the Best of the Guess Who and the Best of the Guess Who Vol. 2, which were great albums.
It's difficult to understand why RCA/BMG has chosen NOT to remaster and reissue the individual Guess Who albums. Those albums contain a number of classic songs which aren't included here or on the expanded 3 disk collection. The Guess Who was one of the most prolific bands of its time and deserves better. Give us more!
